Tom Miller, 29, told The Sun Online that he received a text message on Thursday night informing him that he’d been a victim of fraud.

Benny Higgins, chief executive of Tesco Bank said: “Tesco Bank can confirm that, over the weekend, some of its customer current accounts have been subject to online criminal activity, in some cases resulting in money being withdrawn fraudulently.

“We apologise for the worry and inconvenience that this has caused for customers, and can only stress that we are taking every step to protect our customers’ accounts.
